Giannis destroyed the OKC defense in the post. Got deep positioning and beat them down low over and over again. they had no answer for him. He has a knack for turning it up in closeout games

[@frankfeng2701]

Size, defense, rebounding are useful old-school strategies in single elimination games.

[@SanRhuan]

Oklahoma really went with a small ball lineup and couldnt hit any 3s... at some point they didnt even played a center. Deserved loss, Giannis was literally playing against kids.

it's because Giannis's game doesn't simply "fail". He always has the option to drive hard and get free throws. His game is up close, so doesn't rely on the luck of hitting 3s.

People be hating all the time. I‘ve gotten used to it at this point. These are the same people that always complained that the season was too long and that regular season games were too unimportant/boring. If there‘s even a bit of money and a small trophy at stakes, to me it makes the game a bit more „interesting“ to watch.

[@S-jq1yk]

All the teams have to play in the cup, so why not try and win it?

[@lipsodent]

In soccer/football, they have cup competitions apart from the league title. It mixes things up, gives teams a chance to get a high and taste success. It's also a different kind of test and pressure because it is a one-off game, the final is in a neutral venue, so removes advantage or disadvantages of playing home and away. And then there is the money. It's tense, it's high stakes, no room for error - no game 2 or 3 It has an edge, and allows world class athletes compete for a big win One game. Winner takes all I like this CUP

As Giannis convincingly outplayed their shiny new toy, “SGA”- who several analysts said is will be the best player in the cup final!!!!! Better than the GREAK FREAK?! Last season, Giannis had 30 & 19 snd destroyed Shai and OKC (with Chet playing) in the regular season. Not a word was said by the media ignored it while they voted for Shai, who finished above Giannis on MVP ladder last season. Steven A, Perkins laughed pre game when Giannis said, “losing is not an option”. What a mentality for Giannis to prove them wrong!
